Or discourse on German ever-late high speed trains

If I stopped interacting with any content made people that have another political view than me there would be a lot less variety and possibility for more nuanced opinions since I would just see my bubble. I can see viewing this content critically but you comment like this under literally any politico link no matter the content. Its pretty annoying tbh

I mean there a countries where a person can die by volition for example in switzerland, so if you have a disease and suffer a lot you can let yourself be euthanised. Things get messy because even the option can make it so people could gaslight each other into getting euthanized to get inheritance quicker and all sort of that nasty shit. And I guess animals can't really spell out if they want to die or not.

When it comes to deciding for people who can't decide for themselves, in germany you can allow somebody else before you fall in coma to decide about stuff for you regarding health so they can ask the doctors to turn the machine of keeping you alive.

I guess its also a strict taboo for doctors with the vow to protect lives. But there's been a push for it in some parts of the world. There are also stings in history where people with mental illness were regarded as "not worthy of living" in nazi germany for example and basically killed. So thats one reason for example it also remains a taboo with many liberal countries rethinking on the (consentual) euthanasia for those suffering and having the legit wish to die.

In Germany where I'm from you're legally allowed to be prescribed medication that ends your life but you have to administer it to yourself. There also the difference of passive and active euthanasia. Active is where doctors can administer it to you with consent. Passive is what I described for Germany. It should really be allowed more commonly in the world tho. The passive one sucks for people who are paralyzed and can't administer it to themselves because anyone else that does it will only do so illegally

Here a map from 2022.

Except if they're animals in the mass meat production business, then nobody cares

I do some OpenStreetMap editing, hang up posters for my political party of choice when its election time and whenever the opportunity arises and I have time. In a bit theres a Pen & Paper session where I will help out with my car for food logistics.

I mean I started degoogling and found osm pretty nice and liked editing it. Also I'm into politics so I do help on some occasions. Its not hard to start. It comes with an interest and I help out when it aligns for both sides. Although I guess I'm not volunteering in other social institution like food banks or so but I also try to donate a bit

If its a well made or artistically nice game sure I would pay. It sure sucks for preservation tho. Although choosing GOG when possible is already pretty helpful I think for the right direction

Thank you for the writeup. Even if theres downvotes piling from people (I mean I guess they think you're in favor of DRM when you're mostly indifferent and see its use). Between the back and forth I learned quite a bit about Denuvo and how DRMs work. And while it doesn't make me like DRM any more its interesting to see how and why things work the way they do. I don't see a reason why games shouldn't just patch out DRM after the launch window. I think if you want to avoid a simple copy paste way where friends just send each other a copy of the game there can be a lot more primitive options later on. And the pirate copy is mostly already out there later on

Now please show an inflation adjusted graph or better one that shows in percentage how much each fraction owns of the wealth pie.

It would be amazing but I don't think he would risk it as they would receive quite the backlash from Israel and especially the US. It would be awesome tho

The european parliament needs to be allowed to themselves start passing legislature, and not just voting on stuff the commission suggests. Also the EU Parliament is against chat control. Stop the propaganda we do not want you here

Have and AI work for me and make all the money I guess. If its was impossible for me to find another job then the model of work and living wages would need to change anyways. There would need to be universal basic income for the unemployed masses.

The point of life isn't really work so as long as everyone can afford to live there are plenty of things I would like to do

 

I know Wero is still in its infancy and the digital Euro is still a few years away, even if you believe there'll be no delays. But depending on where you live you can already do a lot for EU financial independence.

  • Use cash (very easy but not ideal in many situations/online)
  • Use a national payment providers:
    • Germany 🇩🇪: Girocard
    • Netherlands 🇳🇱: iDEAL
    • France 🇫🇷: Cartes Bancaires
    • Poland 🇵🇱: BLIK
    • Italy 🇮🇹:Bancomat/PagoBancomat
    • Many other options, check for your country
  • Use SEPA direct debit mandate or wire money directly if you can
  • Sign up to a european crypto exchange and use it for direct purchases. although I get if you don't like crypto but this is just for direct purchases

Otherwise American Payment providers usually get at least 1% and if you use card payment a lot over time that can really add up. This also mostly makes sense when buying from a european company. For US companies it really doesn't matter much. I've been trying to replace Amazon with Otto and I use SEPA direct debit mandate to avoid fees.

 

Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.
